Gran Sardo is a traditional Sardinian Pecorino table cheese with a distinctive shape resembling the curved back of a mule. Its smooth rind can range in color from yellow to black, depending on the ageing period.
The cheese has a hard, compact texture, sometimes with small, scattered holes, and a white interior. During the first months of maturation, Gran Sardo is tender and pleasantly spicy. As it continues to mature, it develops a more pronounced, intense and peppery flavor.
Gran Sardo is ideal as a traditional Sardinian table cheese, served on cheese platters or enjoyed with bread, wine and other Mediterranean specialties.
